I don’t have many regrets. Maybe a few, but they are rare and probably out of proportion with whatever anguish they have caused me. But there are things I am sorry to have missed out on while traveling. I wish I’d been more brave in Spain, that evening I walked Read more…
I feel like I could just post about the cats for hours and hours. I’ve been thinking a lot about my past cats. My first cat was a shelter cat: Jasmine. She was half siamese and she picked me out. She screamed bloody murder the whole drive home in a Read more…
We brought two cats home today. One is a gray and white cat, as those have always been with me one way or another, and the other is a snowshoe Manx. This second cat is very fearful and I hope he warms up to us. The gray cat (he came Read more…

I don’t know what the plan is, here. Obviously I am maintaining this daily thing much more poorly than the last one. I’d like to get back to my routine tomorrow… and since I can see it on a whiteboard next to me, I’m going to do that. That said, Read more…
I rode (M drove) across AZ and a bit over halfway up CA today. I knit and watched the scenery. There is nothing else to say about today.
